DAMASCUS, SYRIA (4:30 P.M.) – The Syrian forces are using heavy artillery and rocket shelling, in addition to airstrikes to expel the Islamic State from its last stronghold in east Swaida countryside.
Led by the elite 4th Division, the government troops managed to liberate large chunks of lands including Sheikh Hussein Tomb and the surrounding areas.
Footage taken from the battlefield shows the Russian jets and Syrian helicopters jointly bombing positions for the terror group in al-Safa Hills.
The offensive has resulted in the Syrian Army taking over several locations for ISIS, seizing their weapons.
The footage also features graphic images of ISIS corpses killed in the assault.
Yesterday, the government forces scored a massive advance in the al-Safa Hills region after fierce battles with the Islamic State militants.
